A multitude of well-known individuals, spanning royalty, political figures, and renowned scientists, were featured in a flood of court documents, previously undisclosed, linked to the Jeffrey Epstein case.
These documents, unveiled on Wednesday night, were part of the extensive collection filed in Virginia Giuffre’s 2015 defamation lawsuit against Ghislaine Maxwell, the associate of deceased Epstein. Within this treasure trove of papers, notable mentions included Prince Andrew, former President Bill Clinton, and Stephen Hawking, alongside other prominent personalities.
A collection of 40 recently revealed documents is just a fraction of approximately 250 papers slated for release soon. These documents are anticipated to identify over 170 individuals associated with Epstein, encompassing both victims and past staff members.
Before the documents were made public, there were prior reports indicating that Clinton was mentioned over 50 times in the redacted papers under the pseudonym “John Doe 36.” These mentions, which were not anticipated to link him to any unlawful behavior, were thought to originate from Giuffre’s initial efforts to summon the former president to provide testimony against Epstein and Maxwell, as per reports.
